Interesting, I think all you need to do is replace the file inside of zip but not totally sure.

Sent from my Google Nexus 12! yup I'm from the future
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
What I don't know is if the zip has to be constructed in some particular way to be accepted as valid, even with S-OFF. But yeah, there should be a way to flash CWM to the S-OFF bootloader.

Thank you but I don't know what that is exactly.

Ru suggesting I restart holding down on volume and select recovery from hboot?

Are you on 2.2.1 or are you on 2.3.?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
Okay I'm just poking around blindly in the dark here... I'm not a developer, just a script tinkerer... but if you're brave enough...

I grabbed one of the PD15IMG.zip radio files from the Dev section just to obtain the proper android-info.txt file. Then I created a new zip containing only:

- android-info.txt

- CWM version 3.0.2.4 for Glacier, in .img format, renamed to recovery.img

I've attached it here. Rename it to PD15IMG.zip, put it on the root of your SD, and try booting into HBOOT and see if it prompts you to install the zip. If so, does it succeed?

If yes, then try booting into recovery. Do you get Clockwork?

If it does not succeed, please report any error messages.

I highly doubt this can damage your phone because your ROM is still bootable and your bootloader still works, so the worst you could get is a bad recovery that you have to fix up. But I hold no liability for anything that gets borked ;)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mark manning:
I believe I have this figured out, will post the fix in the dev section as soon as i get the unsecured boot.img back

and test it on my device thats going back

?How do i set my htc glacier to NOT receive future Tmobile OTA updates?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
There is an app you can install, FOTAkill.apk, which I believe stops the Google update service from jumping in and complaining. I know it works on stock devices and Cyanogen, but I don't know if it works on Sense because the latter might make use of other services.

All that being said -

If you have Radio S-OFF, you should *always* be able to reflash ClockworkMod and ENG H-BOOT from PD15IMG.zip if you get stuck without root again.

TYSVM for your help,

I feel ashamed to ask for more help but i am stuck again

i suppose i am an ADB sdk noob,

I ran the pd15img.zip successfully then I went to load CM7 following the sdk directions here:

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/TMo...ia_ROM_Manager

(great easy to follow command line tutorial, thanks so much!)

but i am stuck again :

after:

"... Make sure USB debugging is enabled on the TMobile myTouch 4G by checking Settings » Applications » Development » USB debugging.

6. On the computer, open terminal and run the following commands:

adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/

adb push hboot-eng.img /data/local/tmp/

adb push psneuter /data/local/tmp/

adb push recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.4-glacier.img /data/local/tmp/recovery.img

adb push su /sdcard/

adb push Superuser.apk /sdcard/

I typed:

[adb push Superuser.apk /sdcard/

it replied: (1596 KB/s (196120 bytes in 0.120s)]

<- great success, everything moving along as planned

BUT:

I typed:

adb shell

/data/local/tmp/psneuter

AND: Oh No!

unable to

chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/*

/data/local/tmp/psneuter: no such file or directory

Did i miss a step? I don't understand ; i see psneuter and psneuter.c files in the directory platform tools ...

what is chmod command, btw?

do i need to link this file to the shell or something?

I'm afraid to do anything with the phone while I'm halfway through this process, i apologize for being so very needy, but I'm super grateful for your taking the time to noob me thru this,

i promise I'll do my best to share my knowledge with the next poor noob when this is all said and done,

peace,

possum

EDIT: Now that i have hboot 0.85.2007 and clockworkmodrecovery - why can't i apply my royal panache.zip file from hboot? do i need to simply rename the file update.zip?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
As Mark specified in the other thread - you don't need to do any rooting anymore because you've installed custom recovery.

Skip straight to the part that says "Flashing CyanogenMod". Get the zip files you need (CM and Google Apps) on the SD card, and boot into recovery. Then proceed as specified.

Alternately if you just want to root your stock ROM, you can flash this zip from custom recovery:

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asn39:
hey friends please suggest me what to do ??

I m really interested in buying this phone but some ppl are scaring me for its battery life and also for Hinge ?? Will Hinge last even one year with medium usage not much typing ??

Post your battery life and rate it out of 10

also

Share your Experience with Hinge !

Thanx alot in advance...thanx...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilcuber:
If your sacred about the hinge, you can buy new springs for this hinge which will make it sturdy for about 5$. Battery life is pretty good for me. I get about a day and have about 25-30% left. But that is because i underclock the processor alot when my phone is asleet. Also you can download juice defender to get better battery life.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mputtr:
Battery life is fine. if you find yourself charging your phone more often then get a higher capacity battery.

The hinge will not break after a year. The complaint is not the durability of the hinge but the strength in which it holds the phone open. There is a fix on the general forums here that teaches you how to change the springs
[Atrix 4G General] martinisadork:
First off, since I am apparently an "inexperienced user" I am not allowed to post in the development forum, not even as a response to an existing thread (which is where it would make sense).

So I'm posting it here instead, please feel free to move to somewhere more appropriate.

After flashing faux's kernel on my atrix (running the Alien ROM v2) I noticed that when listening to music it actually plays faster than it is supposed to. Not by a whole lot, at first I was questioning whether I was just imagining it but it does indeed change playback speed.

Now, I didn't have to actually change anything with setcpu for this to happen, just the running kernel with the default setting makes this happen. I'm guessing this could possibly happen because of the AVP overclock?

Is there some setting that can be changed to stop this from happening?

For now I flashed back to the stock kernel and music plays at normal speed.
[Atrix 4G General] NFHimself:
Hi,

That's interesting.

I wouldn't think a setting would do that, more like surgery on how android gets it's timing information to use a RTC, if that is practical at all.

Cheers!

Hi guys,

is there any possibility to replace the branded lock ring in the LeeDroid Rom by the stock one?

I really apprciate LeeDroid's hard work and can understand that he wants to add his name into the product (which is fine with the starting screen), but for the lock ring, a thing I see couple of times a day, it is just annoying.

Can I simply flash a lock ring from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1134818 or is this impossible because its an entirely different model and rom?

Sorry for the noob question.

With best regards

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grgdumi:
Hello. Today i bought my X10 but it has a problem. Usb it's not working. if i put it in a specific position it will charge. But for my computer it's completely invisible.

Rom=2.1-update 1 official version i guess

baseband 2.0.46

kernel 2.6.29 semcuser SEMCHOST 1

My question is:

could i update from 2.1 to custom 2.3 using only bluetooth or my Microsd card reader or any other alternative than flashtool? If not what is the best custom rom i could update to?

Thank you in advance!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scotths:
A suggestion.. I had the exact same problem. It turned out the problem was with the cable, not with the connector on the phone. The micro usb standard was designed so that the cable rather than the connector would wear out over time. In my case a new cable solved the problem 100%. Would suggest trying that before concluding the phone is broken.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grgdumi:
ok, thanks for suggestion, i will try it, but i doubt the seller didn't tried that already.

until then i still want to update to 2.3..solutions?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scotths:
Unfortunately I don't believe there is any way to change the baseband and kernel without the usb connector. re. usb .. I suspect it doesn't occur to some to try a different cable as with most connectors (usb our otherwise) the problem is with the jack not the cable. Micro usb was intentionally designed the opposite way so that the jack could last over a large number of insertions.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grgdumi:
it not about the position of the usb cable, but the usb connector on phone is moving a little, so i doubt it's an usb cable problem.

then..what is the best custom rom for my baseband?couldn't i update to official 2.3 to automatically change the baseband/kernel? sorry, i already searched for these and still searching, but couldn't find it yet. i'm not that kind of noob who just asks because it's simple for me that way

lated edit: i thought i could update to official 2.3 ota, but it's possible only by usb.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scotths:
A few suggestions should a new cable not fix the problem:

I would suggest you consider the froyo rom WB-XPERIA TW. I used that prior to upgrading to gingerbread. There are 2 sets of basebands:

1)<=52 (what you have)

2)>=54

You would need to select the version which is marked 4x-52 or perhaps just 52.

In order to install you would need to root the rom and install x-recovery. I used the computer flash tool for this, but I am pretty sure there are other ways. You can then install the rom following the instructions given. (Pressing the back button a few times when you see the sony erickson screen to get to the x recovery screen while booting)

You may also be able to get a custom kernel working as the boot loader hasn't been cracked and thus a hack is used to get custom kernels to boot (I don't think they replace the kernel installed but hijack the process and start the custom kernel booting). Originally the custom kernels only worked with the earlier bands (52 and before) so there are still versions comparable with the earlier baseband set.

Be careful, I'm not sure what you could do if you make a mistake and want to reflash from scratch without the computer!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anim4ls:
Umm, i can't even find a way to root my phone without using usb cable/the computer...

can u share a way? please. i. really. neeeed. IT!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreatBigDog:
Here are the tools and a quick description on how they are used.

1. Enable install from unknown sources on your phone and install the apps from the files below.

2. Install Root Explorer from the Android Market (paid app). Don't try to use it until after the next step.

3. Run Z4Root app on your phone and it will root your phone for you.

4. Use Root Explorer to mount your system partition as R/W instead of RO.

5. Run the XRecovery app to get XRecovery installed onto your phone.

Z4Root

XRecovery (Old install by app version)

Edit... It's been awhile since I rooted by this method so I might of missed a step between 3 and 4. You may have to install busybox and superuser from the android market. (both free)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caryhammond:
If you do manage to root it and install xrecovery, and if you can find a way to install the gingerbread kernel, I would advise using wolfbreaks latest gingerbread rom,rather than the froyo version scotths mentioned as I find it a lot faster and smoother.

Just make sure you backup your current rom first as you would have difficulties if it went wrong while flashing and you've no other way to reinstall.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreatBigDog:
He has a bad USB so can't update his baseband. He'll have to stick to ROM's that will operate on the Baseband that he has.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caryhammond:
Sorry,

Realised how I had phrased it after I posted it, so I amended it to say if he can manage to get the baseband and kernel installed.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grgdumi:
thank you for your help, but i already repaired my x10(it costed me about 20eur at a local gsm service to solder/stick the usb to board which is a pretty hard job to do). He showed me at the service that the usb's pins were pulled completely from the board.

Now i'm on latest 2.3 baseband with wolf's rom, unlocked bootloader, latest doomlord kernel and works great.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HellcatDroid:

Thanks for you reply! Will definately try that once i figure out what does "dd from a terminal session" mean exaclty, sorry I am a noob lol
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HellcatDroid:
It means:

Download a "Terminal" App from the Market (that App gives you kind of a console screen where you can enter commands) and type what I posted above into it.

But make sure you actually copy the modem software you want to flash to /sdcard/modem.bin first.

[Thunderbolt General] Topher227:
So on Saturday i called Verizon to complain about my proximity sensor not working... i couldn't take hanging up on my friends anymore, and I did try blowing it out with compressed air... No dice.

We went through the normal troubleshooting routine. "Did you try pulling the battery?" "Lets try a Factory Reset" "Call #237 and try to trip the sensor" "Have you tried turning it off and back on again?" with exception to the last one... IT Crowd anyone? Well once the rep was satisfied that I wasn't BS'ing him, we started the replacement process. I gave my address and the whole normal routine, i was placed on hold for a few minutes as the "order wouldn't go through" or something....

At that point I was told that a new policy had been put into effect with replacing 4G devices.... Verizon was going to have to send me a "Recovery Box" where I had to send back my Thunderbolt, and they would send me the replacement within 3 to 5 days. WTF! I explained that this was ridiculous and such, and kindly asked to speak to a supervisor who told me the same thing.

Today, i received the "Recovery Box", and will be sending my Thunderbolt back. What interested me was this paragraph that was in the "RETURN INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOUR 4G LTE DEVICE" pamphlet: (I will gladly scan and post if there's interest...)

"NOTE: For problems covered under the manufacturer's warranty, you will receive a replacement device within 3-5 business days after shipping your defective device. Your replacement device may be reconditioned.

For problems not covered under the manufacturer's warranty, your defective device may be returned to you in the same condition."

I'm wondering if after all of the issues with rebooting phones simply being a software upgrade, if Verizon is doing this to prevent any more of their CPO phones going out.... and if those reboot phones will just be updated and sent back to customers... Anyway, that was my story. Anyone else have this issue.... or was a lot of smoke just blown up you know where?
[Thunderbolt General] dadsterflip:

[Thunderbolt General] yareally:
It's probably so they can avoid replacing phones for things like water damage or dropped phones (i.e. obvious user inflicted problems).
[Thunderbolt General] zeeza57:
I believe they are trying to force us to use the insurance if we have it and screw us if we dont. I have a TB, but just had more or less the same thing happen with my sons Casio phone. The Casio needs a battery but verizon doesnt have them and can not find one for it. Was sent the like new referb #3 and told to put old battery in #3 then file insurance claim because of battery. Doesnt this sound a wee bit like fraud. Still has manufacture warranty on it. My thought is that we still have the manufactures warranty on our TBs maybe we should try contacting HTC for that warranty,

as verizon doesnt seem to want to stand behind the products they sell any more. Or pay the $99. 00 deposit and loose our TBs. I am very unhappy with verizons customer service and I believe that like Sprint was 3 years ago we will get told to go screw ourselves live with your junk phone, shut up and pay your bill any way. Thats why I left Sprint after 8 years. Verizon is #1 now and will forget about us customers that got them there. I feel bad things coming in the near future
